Sonia Hassey's work helps women tell the truth about disconnection, return to themselves, and lead with steady conviction.

Meet Sonia
Sonia Hassey is a speaker, author, and leadership coach, and the founder of Destiny Women Global, a community built for women who are ready to come home to themselves.
Her work is not another seminar or a louder push to do more. It is an invitation to slow down, tell the truth, and rebuild leadership from wholeness rather than performance.
Professional biography
Empowering Leaders to Own Their Voice, Lead Authentically, and Create Meaningful Impact.
Sonia Hassey is a dynamic leadership coach, transformational speaker, author, and visionary entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience in leadership, personal development, entrepreneurship, and empowering others to step fully into their potential.
As the Founder of Destiny Women Global, Sonia has dedicated her work to helping women, entrepreneurs, professionals, and emerging leaders move beyond self-doubt, recognize their value, and lead with authenticity, confidence, clarity, and purpose. Her signature approach combines leadership development, personal transformation, mindset, communication, and authentic identity because Sonia believes powerful leadership starts with knowing who you are and having the courage to lead from that place.
Sonia is the creator of the Destiny Talks Series, a transformational platform designed to inspire women to embrace their worth, take ownership of their story, and create meaningful change in their lives, businesses, and communities. She is also an international bestselling author and contributor to Destiny Talks and Butt Naked Leadership, books that challenge readers to lead with greater authenticity, courage, transparency, and personal responsibility.
A graduate of Dale Carnegie Training and a Certified Life Coach through Dream University, Sonia brings extensive training, real-world leadership experience, and a deeply personal passion for transformation to every room she enters. She has also served as an Ambassador with the WE UN Ambassador Team for Women’s Empowerment, further reflecting her commitment to advancing women through leadership, connection, and opportunity.
Beyond coaching and speaking, Sonia is a respected community builder and connector. She founded the Business Social Mixer, which has grown into a thriving four-year networking community serving entrepreneurs and professionals throughout the Sacramento region. What began as a networking event has evolved into a powerful platform where business owners build authentic relationships, exchange referrals, create collaborations, and grow together. Sonia’s gift for connecting people and creating meaningful spaces for conversation is at the heart of its continued success.
Through her coaching, speaking engagements, workshops, transformational programs, and community initiatives, Sonia helps individuals and organizations strengthen their leadership, build trust and influence, communicate more effectively, and turn their potential into meaningful impact.
Her message is simple but powerful: You do not have to become someone else to become a powerful leader. You have to discover, own, and lead from who you authentically are.
Sonia’s greatest passion is helping people find their voice, recognize their worth, and step boldly into the next chapter of their lives and leadership, creating a ripple effect of confidence, connection, growth, and lasting impact in their businesses, communities, and beyond.
The signature framework
Five movements from disconnection back to a life that is unmistakably your own. Every conversation, book, and gathering supports this path.
Come home to yourself. Notice what you have silenced, and begin to listen again.
Remember what you love, what you are for, and the woman underneath the roles.
Rebuild your confidence, your boundaries, and your sense of worth.
Lead from wholeness with clarity, conviction, and calm, grounded authority.
Create lasting impact that flows from who you are, not from what you perform.
“Thank you Coach Sonia Hassey Salinas for another productive workshop! Everytime I come to your workshop, I’m reborn, Inspired, empowered, motivated, finding my energy, my voice and focus on my mission! Looking forward to next year’s Destiny series.”
“For the first time in years, I'm leading from something that feels like me again: steady, clear, and whole.”
“I am so proud of you! When I see you speaking, I think back to the girl I knew in high school. You were brave and assertive even then, though I don't think you realized it. I'm so glad we reconnected and that I'm part of this community. It's helping me realize that just because I've retired doesn't mean my journey is over. Thank you for inspiring me!”
“Goodnight, Coach! This was exactly what I needed, and the timing couldn't have been better for where I am in my life and purpose. I had an amazing time! It was very empowering, and everyone was so welcoming and kind. Thank you so much!”
